What's It Like As A Red Team Operator? (w/ Chris M.) 

That handwriting is the writing of a true pen tester.

Red Team sounds like the route for me..I love solving puzzles, detective work and using my analytical skills. Awesome interview.

Even in mid 2022, this interview is refreshingly relevant and thoughtful - Awesome content, keep it up :)

theoretically FBI! theoretically OPEN UP!

This channel is highly under-rated. It deserves way more subs. Your content is very insightful and helpful❤️💯

thank you both. I'm not even a scriptkiddie yet, but learned a truckload of amazing stuff

This is soooooooooo good :) Highly value and appreciate your content.

The way you ask questions is very much appreciated, Your question really clarify all the doubts I never found anyone asking this type of questions in any channel or podcast. Well done.

Love the food analogy! Awesome dialogue. Hoping for more of these!

Focused for all the 47 minutes of the video, I have to rewind several times to soak myself with the information. 3 years ago but still relevant in 2024, Good content is timeless.

focused for all 47 minutes of the video thanks for this!

Also I would love a video about common cyber security / technical terminology explained and stuff

incredible interview and great content. Just discovering the world of offsec as a total noob and already into THM and learning python and its all great fun so far

Loved your interview and content ❤️❤️. Great content for people who want's to join cybersecurity career path and people who have lack of knowledge about cybersecurity and cybercrime.

This content is gold. Learned alot.

Thank you so much for these videos!

This is really good. Best "day-in-the-life" type video I've seen.

OMG thank you for this!!

this channel is a life saver!

Thank you

great interview!!

It definitely is more fun to break things! Very insightful!

Bro this was very helpful, you've got a new sub!

38:32 that's a motivation right there, thank you for this great content!

Thanks for another great video! Career changing from accounting to cybersecurity. Typical reactions I always get is "you're crazy for doing that.." lol. Excited for myself and where I will be in a year.

Currently working as an accountant. I'm working towards my first red team cert eJPT then it's OSCP

Great interview.

This video is theoretically very informational.

Im love ur channel bcz of video quality and content 😻

Very good interview with informaiton, been wanting to transit to cyber securities field but totally clueless.

Very informative, well done!

Dude, you'r awesome! Keep it up! Quality content!

Love the sewing machine in the background! There is a phenomenal sewing machine museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Peoria Ave.

Absolutely amazing content 👍

Great 1:1 on being a red team operator. Chris needs to watch Mr. Robot.

Thanks very helpful 👍

God job; good questions and interesting answers.

exceptional content

Love the content!!!

Good interview

Very helpful

Dude, you have good interviewing skillz!

Wow great session

This was amazing, many thanks! 1st programming I learned was Basic back in the 80's on a Radio Shack TRS80 or trash80 as we called it LULZ!

good job 👍 keep up the good work

Awesome talk!

nice man enjoyed myself also learned some stuff

Just beautiful

i appreciate the subtitle!

Good info.

thats what i call.. " exceptional communication skills "

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome content! Simple and deep at the same time. I thought C|EH was an advanced cert, but now I know it's not as advanced as I thought.

23:29 The way that Wi-fi works is that it connects to the strongest signal. That's fine, but do you not need the password for the original Wi-Fi to conduct the Man-in-the-middle attack? the man-in-the-middle usually would mean that you would connect to they're wi-fi so that you can forward the traffic through it? but would the device connecting already send the key and you would effectively get the password that way also???

I'm in Blue Team now as incident responder. But I want to move to Red team someday. Question I have is: Do Red Team Operators travel a lot for engagements or is it possible to find remote opportunities or even only local opportunities. I'm asking because I'm a more of a family guy but I really want to become a Red Teamer someday.

Beautiful

The real challenge for new people to get in to the industry is that there is a huge lack of hands on training and way too much focus on theory and certs. I am trying to break thorough that and I am finding it very difficult . I feel the certs I gain are a true waste of time especially when we need to renew them as well.

Can someone state the certifications he mentionner ?

When did you start programming? I started with C at the age of 7 And python at the age of 7 or 8

Awesome interview! Is it possible for someone to enter cybersecurity through the self taught route? A brick and mortar school isn't my thing.

Red Team sounds fun.

Just watched this was absolutely inspiring has that guy got any content out you could learn from or follow him his a mystery lol

How do you feel about Project Ares ??? Do you think its worth it

hey, for eg. he worked for a month and reported there aren't any vulnerabilities and he got paid his salary. but if somehow someone is hacked into the company and stole data. now won't the company question him like why didn't you reported about this vulnerability and what you tested last month, like?

Sorry I'm late! Thanks for waiting for me! Ps you started off awkward af but finished strong. +1 sub +1 ding

I'm took B. Sc (forensic science)(cyber security and data analytics), I have one doubt, eitherforensic science means cyber forensic or actual forensic,

Great vid - But some of the comments... -.-

How do you become one or get an interview for this

So we who have master's degree are doomed if we don't have cert?

"type thing" -Chris M.

Is he a Filipino-American?

wow

I see that sacred geometry in the back 👀 tryna decode the universe ?

Do you need to be great with you're handwriting to become master Red Team. Well I have handwriting which needs it's own analysis like Malware analysis,if you really want to understand it .

Who is blue team?

I am going to press X to doubt on that bank story. No major bank would have that vulnerability, without there being some serious legal issues. Even in the earliest days of browsers, there were ways to secure against that type of things, and banks have always used archaic infrastructure for the sole reason that those are easier to lock down. We're talking languages that are so old, that only a handful of people in the world still knows how to use them. And considering that I cannot find any articles about a flaw that massive, I am assuming Chris is talking about the old breakroom myth that is shared among hackers, that back in the 90's. You know, one of those "industry secrets" that some inspirational speaker or older coworker talks about from their own life story, but turns out to be something they had picked up from someone else, who picked it up from someone else, who just plainly lied about it because it sounded plausible. And because of that, I can't take anything else he talks about here seriously. It all just sounds like he's padding his own reputation, because nobody will be able to verify it anyway. So a pro tip is that if you're going to lie about your resume, make sure there's no verifiable information there.

Someone please tell this guy about the word “hypothetical”

You would have waaay more subs if you created content regarding career changers. So much of your content is geared toward "pc lover since i was 9" type of crowd. Well thats all fun and dandy but thats now where all views are.

This man is the real Eliot Alderson.

I hacked modems...

Is this an IA or is it just meee

Do not cheat with the Secretary!

SOF

Nice! I finally got the 1000th like on a video. The downside is the total of comments is 69, and I'm going to ruin it.

"im a white hat right now..." emmmm what about later???

So...this vulnerability exists...and you don't report it. So...potentially you're finding out that this is a horrible security vulnerability and others could be stealing information same as you, while you do nothing about it until you've done as much damage as possible(which other attackers could be doing)? Nice! Love keeping an insecure system insecure as long as possible.

I'm evil and I love it!

What the fuck kind of bank did this? What country?

interviewer needs to write these questions down before hand. He is a bit awkward.

PS that's called calligraphy- intentionally stylized handwriting.

What’s a red team operator?? Lol

Wtf. Your own digital security? How about dont use gmail. Lmfao 42:00

That into was jarring as fuck. The video just opens on a random sequence sentences. I almost didn't watch the video.

This guy is paranoid. Always has to insert a “theoretically” somewhere in what he says. No one cares dude. Just fucking say you’re a HACKER! it’s a common job.

Too much of your face.

"operator"? Lmfao , woohoo buckle up here comes the cringe. I'm guessing "the life" is all about bitches wanting him, dudes wanting to be him, and how he thinks everyone sees him as some kinda james bond computer hacker agent..... Theoretically ..
